Rose given a shot at world title as Briton prepares for summer bout with Andrade

British boxer Brian Rose has been granted his first shot at a world title after finding out his next opponent will be WBO light-middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade on June 14.

The 29-year-old from Blackpool is on an 11-fight winning streak since suffering the only defeat of his professional career against Max Maxwell in May 2010, a setback he later avenged two years later.

Rose (25-1-1, 7KOs) claimed the British Lonsdale belt outright before knocking out the renowned Joachim Alcine for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental light-middleweight title, while further wins against Alexey Ribchev and fringe contender Javier Francisco Maciel in a final eliminator have set up a tilt at a world title.

'It's a dream come true for me and something that I have wanted since I starting boxing at the age of nine,' Rose said.

'It's going to be a great experience for me and my trainer Bobby to go out to America and compete for the World title. But we're not going over there to make up the numbers; I'm bringing that belt back to the UK.'

Rose will enter the bout in a America, at a venue yet to be decided, as firm underdog against Andrade (20-0, 13KOs), who became world champion with a split-decision victory over the previously unbeaten Vanes Martirosyan.

That does not faze Rose, however, who is in optimistic mood.

'Andrade is no doubt a world class fighter,' Rose added. 'He's got the title and an impressive amateur pedigree.

'But I've got experience on my side, I've had more fights and more 12 rounders. I've been in with better and tougher opponents so this fight doesn't and won't faze me.

'On June 14 I will prove my critics wrong once again, I'm going to return as a world champion.'
